-> i am trying to get a 55gal tank, but since i am realtively new to
-> this hobby i was wondering if anyone could tell me what equipment i
-> will need in order to run a large tank with the least maintainence.
->
-> i would like specifics on:
-> filters
-> heaters
-> water treatments
I have a 55 gal. tank myself (Marine). I have an undergravel filter
with two 150 gph powerheads. I also use a Whisper (I forget which
model) Power filter, which also filters 150-200 gph.
I use a Viso-therm heater, I think it's 250 or 300 watts... and a little
thermometer stuck on the side of the tank furthest away from the heater.
I only mantain a few fish, so I seldom do water changes. I have to
clean alge on a weekly basis.
